    there's a reason strobes are used for this instead of constant tungsten. but you got the effect right in your second shot.

    yea well i dont have the money right now for a decent strobe kit and my D3000 doesnt have an internal remote commander to trigger an SB600 or 800/900 off the body so an external flash is out of the question for me money wise now as well.

    i assume you mean because you can not see the bulb in the 2nd photo due to the ripple effect

    i had to have the bulbs so close because i was running a f9 smaller aperature for mroe detail instead of f3.5 that would have allowed me to have the bulbs further away not causing a reflection

    a strobe kit would be nice and i have my eyes on picking up a set soon but for now i was bored and stuck inside sunday so i figured what the hell lol

    well i just mean that to obtain the effect of your second shot - with the bit of water above the surface - that to do this you would want a high speed strobe or flash to do that, in conjunction with a triggering device like the bmumford time machine or other.

    all you gotta do is flip up your built-in flash. these were with my cheapo Sony A100 with the flash up and holding it.

    (notice the date, this is certainly not my best work... just showing you for technique)

    if you're shooting past 1/250 with flash you don't need a tripod unless you're michael j fox.
